Posted: Aug 30, 2011

Interesting; there appears to be a button to mark this entire thread as spam, but not a particular comment, or a full time spammer like this jerk:http://flowplayer.org/forum/users/103518

I still get requests for assistance about a tool I wrote, so I don't want to unsub from the thread about it, but I get two or three spams for every human contact.

your video not working

Posted: Jan 3, 2010

I can't get it to work anywhere now.

Pretty sure you're facing a PHP issue beyond my knowledge. If you know a PHP person or support group, they're gonna be more helpful than I can; sorry.

If you don't know a group, you can join the email list athttp://lists.evolt.org/ and there are a few thousand helpful people who'd probably come up with a solution right quick.

When I follow that link, the video plays fine.

Are you not seeing that result?

escaping double quotes

Posted: Dec 22, 2009

I'm still fuzzy on quoting in PHP, but shouldn't the outer double quotes be escaped?

http://evolt.org/s3secure#code_line_34

I tried pasting the code here, but no matter how I did it, the dialog box actually ran the code, which echoed an empty string. That don't make no sense . . .

Posted: Dec 12, 2009

Andrew, are you talking about line 34? If so, dunno what's wrong. Could you post your code somewhere for review?

multiple videos

Posted: Nov 30, 2009

Thank you :)

You'd have to assign multiple IDs, or loop, and reassign a new value each time through.

Someday when my business books make me rich, I'll take the time to code up a multi-video page.

I get a huge kick out of this. Thanks! Maybe I'll finally formalise it into an article at http://evolt.org/

writing how-to stuff

Posted: Oct 19, 2009

thanks very much, JB; as a business author and coach I obsess about good teaching. (perhaps that's why my "How to write a how-to" article from evolt.org made its way into the Apache documentation archives ;)

S3 and secure audio

Posted: Oct 19, 2009

Hey, let me know how that works out. I haven't done it with audio, but the basics should be there.

here"s the code and walkthrough

Posted: Oct 19, 2009

I did indeed write it up; there's a temporary home here

http://72.9.251.146/~bizbacom/code/secure_s3.php

and that page will bounce to the real home once everything's nailed down.

Very interested in any feedback on what I wrote up?especially if it actually solves your problem.

sweet merciful heavens

Posted: Oct 1, 2009

Thank you SO much, kuroi.

Great googlymooglies that's not obvious. Works like a charm.

I'm going to go write up a tutorial of the entire process and save some other poor chap all the grief.

you"re looking for Amazon S3 Querystring Auth

Posted: Sep 29, 2009

They're using Amazon's S3 storage, and the S3 querystring authorization

See this page

http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/index.html?RESTAuthentication.html

It is non-trivial to implement, and, in fact, I have not yet done so successfully.

While I know of no evidence that a streamed video is captured in the user's cache, don't waste time trying to keep folks from copying your video. Use an auth scheme for something practical like keeping your bandwidth costs down.
